3Activity: Measurement Treasure Hunt (6 min)
hands-on

Children measure different objects using craft sticks and compare lengths

📝 Instructions:
  1. Choose 3-4 objects to measure
  2. Line up craft sticks next to each object
  3. Count how many craft sticks long each object is
  4. Draw a picture of your measurements
🔄 Variations:

Simpler: Parent helps child measure and count

Challenge: Use multiple measurement tools to compare object lengths
